| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What elements make up protein? | Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen and Nitrogen |
| What is an essential amino acid? | An organism needs to ingest because it's necessary for nutrition and cannot be synthesized in the body. |
| What is a non-essential amino acid? | An amino acid that can be synthesized by the body and are different from the essential amino acids that are obtained from food. |
| How do you calculate the amount of protein per day that a person needs based on their average weight? | You take their height/0.2 , answer x 0.8 |
| How many calories are in a gram of fat? | 9 calories |
| How many calories are in a gram of carbohydrates? | 4 calories |
| What are the end products of digestion? | Amino Acids |
| How many calories are in a gram of protein? | 4 calories |
| Where does protein digestion take place? | Small Intestine |
| What is a vegan? | A person who doesn't eat animal products and animal byproducts. |
| What is a lacto-ovo | A vegan who eats dairy and eggs(byproducts). |
| What is a lacto-vegetarian? | A vegan who eats dairy. |
| AMDR ranges for protein intake or total daily calorie intake? | 10-35% |
| How do you calculate the portion of food: carbohydrate? | |
| Name some sources of protein? | Meat, dairy and eggs. |
| Diseases caused by inadequate protein intake? | Marasmus and Kwashiorkor |
| Difference between Marasmus and Kwashiorkor? | Marasmus is malnutrition in general and occurs mostly in infants and young children. Kwashiorkor is generally a protein deficiency. |
| How do calculate the RDA(Recommended Dietary Allowance) of protein for adults? | Weight/2.2=weight in kg./0.8 |
| What does a protein in the body do? | Provides structure and framework. |
| Amino acids are ALSO components of what? | Enzymes, hormones, neurotransmitters, and antibodies. |
| What role do proteins play in? | Fluid balance and acid-base balance and are used to transport substances through the blood. |
| What are amino acids composed of? | Carbon, Hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen atomos |
| Of the 20 amino acids how many are essential? | 9 |
| Of the 20 amino acids how many are non-essential? | 11 |
| Amino acids are used to make what in the body? | Proteins, nonessential amino acids, and other nitrogen-containing compounds. |
| What happens to amino acids not needed or extra ones? | Burned for energy or converted to fat and stored. |
| What is nitrogen balance? | Protein synthesis is occuring at the same rate as protein breakdown. |
| What proteins are considered complete? | Animal proteins and soy protein. |
| What is a complete protein? | A protein that provides adequate amounts and proportions of all essential amino acids needed for protein synthesis. |
| What is AMDR? | Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range |
| What kind of exercise is necessary to gain muscle mass? | Resistance exercise |
| What does an amino acid metabolize into? | Glucose, Energy and/or Fat |
